The Rittenhouse judge should be disbarred. His behavior and rulings are a disgrace. In the McMichael/Bryan trial, the judge is marginal, at best. While he resisted the defense's demand to disallow any "Black pastors" from admission to the courtroom, he commented that the seated jury members appeared to have been chosen based on race, but allowed the trial to proceed with only one Black juror. If the verdict is a fair one, perhaps we can take comfort that, at least in this instance, some progress has been made in a mostly white jury's willingness to see beyond the color barrier.
